Highlights
Week two of the fantasy football season has ended with many injuries, particularly among running backs.
Isaiah Pacheco, a prominent running back, suffered an ankle injury in week two, potentially sidelining him for 4 to 6 weeks.
Samiyia P and Carson Steele are backups to Isaiah Pacheco and could see increased playing time if Pacheco's injury is severe.
Samiyia P, a 29-year-old veteran, was highly efficient in yards per touch last season and could be a valuable addition to the Kansas City Chiefs' offense.
Carson Steele, a rookie from UCLA, could become the Red Zone back for the Chiefs due to his size and potential.
Ty Chandler of the Minnesota Vikings is available in 71% of leagues and could see an increased role if Aaron Jones' injury concerns persist.
Antonio Gibson of the New England Patriots is available in 84% of leagues and could benefit from the team's improved rushing offense.
Brycen Allen, a rookie for the New York Jets, had a strong week two performance and is available in 92% of leagues.
Deontay Foreman of the Cleveland Browns saw an increase in touches in week two and is available in 99% of leagues.
Benny Snell Jr. is available in 66% of leagues and could see more opportunities if Rashad Penny's injury issues continue.
Rico Dowdle is part of a split backfield with Zeke Elliott and had a productive week two, making him a valuable flex option.
Gus Edwards, despite having a similar number of carries as JK Dobbins, was less efficient and may not be a priority addition.
Cam Akers could become the lead back for the Los Angeles Rams if Damien Harris misses time due to injury.
Marlon Lloyd is a rookie back for the Green Bay Packers who could see an increased role if Josh Jacobs were to get injured.
Jaylen Wright could find himself in a top-two role for the Miami Dolphins' backfield if Jeff Wilson misses time.
Trey Sermon, available in 65% of leagues, could see goal line work for the San Francisco 49ers if injuries occur ahead of him.
Isaac Hurtado is the default lead back for the 49ers in the absence of Christian McCaffrey and could be a valuable addition in deep leagues.
Transcripts
week two is over and a lot just happened
unfortunately there was a lot of
injuries especially to the running back
position so in this video we're going to
be talking about these seven running
backs that you must be adding before
your league mates do in fantasy football
and now we have to start with the most
pressing news and it has to do with
these guys and you might be saying s who
the heck are these guys Sami p and
Carson steel well maybe you know well
they're the backups to Isaiah Pacho and
the reason why we have to start here
unfortunately our King Isaiah Pacho was
one of those guys who got injured in
week two Pacho left the game at first it
was an undisclosed injury then it came
out that it was an ankle injury and he
was clearly in pain on the sideline and
then he was emotional in the locker room
which is always you know never maybe a
final decision on what's going to happen
here but it maybe indicates that it's a
little bit more serious than if he
wasn't emotional undergoing further
tests to determine severity so here's
the deal I'm recording this at 4:00 a.m.
my time on Monday those further tests
have not happened yet by the time you're
watching this maybe they have but we do
have a little bit more context here
because there's a video of Isaiah Peko
basically him sustaining the injury you
can see he's getting bent backwards and
my friend DPAC on Twitter Sports MD
analysis a great follow that you should
be following as well he said the video
puts high ankle frame which is never
good that's four to 6 weeks minimum and
potentially even more and Liz Frank
fractures on the table now again this is
just a video this is not knowing exactly
what's happening here being emotional in
the locker room like we mentioned May
weekly suggest higher severity after
missing this game now again if it's
anything to do with the high ankle or if
it's anything to do with Az Frank he's
missing 46 plus games and yes that's
where these guys in samaji P Ryan the
veteran they signed right before the
season who is cut by the Denver Bronco
and Carson steel who is a rookie for
them out of UCLA played one season there
after transferring from Ball State
that's where these guys would come into
play now again I'm recording this at 400
a.m. so if it comes out that it's a low
ankle and he's not even going to miss
week three or maybe he only misses a
week great but for right now these guys
are the priority and I would imagine
that they split this backfield maybe
even a third running back gets involved
or the chief signs somebody else who
then that free agent signing would
become somebody that you need to look at
maybe a Leonard fette or so but as for
samaji pyan he's somebody who becomes at
least interesting because this
29-year-old veteran is somebody that a
lot of teams including the Chiefs that's
why they sign him trust in not only pass
protection to protect Patrick Mahomes
but also catching passes and believe it
or not last year zaji perine out of
every single running back in the NFL was
actually number two in yards per Touch
number two in yards per touch 6.7 yards
per touch he was fine on the ground four
and a half yards per carry but really
where he made his money last year was
right here with the Denver Broncos and
Russell Wilson so again different
quarterback different organization
quarterback and organization but he
caught 50 balls 50 balls was top 14 in
the NFL he was very efficient on his
receptions I believe he ranked number
one if I'm not mistaken yeah number one
amongst all running backs in yards per
route run last year and now he's on the
Kansas City chief so we have to pay
attention to when an efficient running
back who can catch passes like that
joins a powerful offense like Kansas
City and as for Carson steel this is a
really big running back I mean this is a
6 foot 228b running back maybe can
become the Red Zone back as you can see
right here on player profile the Red
Zone back for the Chiefs he had over a
1700 yard season at Ball State then last
year he transfers to U UCLA puts up a
th000 total yards and now he's been kind
of used in the preseason and to start
the year as like a fullback for Kansas
City but he's not a fullback like don't
get it twisted this guy is a running
back he was uh entering the NFL as a
running back coming out of college and
again 228 lbs is interesting when you're
talking about a Red Zone roll so I don't
think that there's any type of Workhorse
running back roll here that's going to
one for one replace Isa peo again
there's a chance that that could happen
with a steel and or a py but I think
they'll split this backfield maybe
somebody else gets involved but as you
can see from Mike Florio on Twitter
isaia Pacho in week two his role was
Elite 70% of the snaps 19 carries five
targets and five cat on those he had a
full workload for the second straight
week so if he's able to dodge a severe
injury then I don't really want to pick
up any of these guys because it should
still be the Isaiah peo role moving
forward but as of right now that's
seeming in question maybe even in doubt
so we'll have to see what further the
news happens now next up I want to talk
about a guy in the Minnesota Vikings
backfield and that's Ty Chandler
available in Believe It or Not 71% of
leagues and here's the deal I got a lot
of people saying none of these guys are
available in my leagues you're like the
one% you're like the top 10% of fantasy
players right that's why you're watching
this video but guys like Tai Chandler
are available in over 70% leag and if
you're in one of those sicko leagues
where you're the guy typing in the
comments none of these guys are
available in my leagues well just wait
because we're going to get to the deeper
guys who are guarantee are available in
your leagues trust me on that later in
the video now the reason why Tai
chanders is in this video is a few
reasons first off Aaron Jones left the
game in the fourth quarter he did return
to the game but Tai Chandler was
involved early and often throughout and
especially once Jones left the game and
Chandler was good it's not like he just
got more touches and and only put up
like you know two yards per carry no he
went out there he had 10 carries he had
82 yards he had a couple explosive runs
this is exactly what we saw of Chandler
last year year and we even saw this a
little bit last week and we kind of
touched on it from last week these are
the snap counts according to PFF the
snap counts are right here in this First
Column those are the numbers right there
you can see Ty Chandler played 20% or 20
total snaps and Aaron Jones played 30
total snaps in week two so it's not that
far off like it's pretty close to a
split backfield but Aaron Jones going
for 100 plus total yards kind of made a
lot of people not realize that Tai
Chandler saw 44% of the Carries On The
Early down so really after week one all
we needed to see out of Tai Chandler was
maybe a couple of third down snaps a
couple of snaps in the two-minute
offense and quietly we start to hit a
50/50 backfield now that didn't exactly
happen in week two where we can pull up
the snaps from week two right here and
this is factoring in Aaron Jones leaving
for a couple of plays in the fourth
quarter Jones 33 total snaps Tai
Chandler 19 but the difference here is
on those snaps Tai Chandler is seeing
usage 10 carries on his snaps compared
to nine for Aaron Jones now Jones got
the targets but that's to be expected
because again Jones is the rb1 in this
backfield when healthy but that is the
key when healthy and this is important
because Aaron Jones left and went to the
medical tent in week one Sunday he
missed a couple of plays the injury is
undisclosed but this is very highly
critical to point out because he's an
aging running back approaching 30 years
old and last season when he was on the
Green Bay Packers we can pull it up
right here Aaron Jones if we scroll down
to it struggled with injuries and not
just any injuries this guy had a
hamstring injury a knee strain injury
and not just for like a week or two
let's look at it he was on the injury
report for nine weeks for six weeks he
missed not just four three more games
this was the guy who was on the injury
report for almost every single week last
year starting in week one when he had
that injury going all the way into the
playoffs so the injury concerns are real
here right right as the season goes on
we don't expect it to be right away week
one it could happen that he gets banged
up like he did here in week two but as
the year goes on the younger back Tai
Chandler might be the one who's more
durable and he's a pretty good back who
can handle a full workload like he did
in his one start last season when he had
150 total yards and like he did
throughout the entire year last year for
Minnesota Vikings when he averaged over
five yards per touch so I think the
26-year-old out of Minnesota the former
North Carolina running back is an
interesting name to be adding and I also
think that Antonio Gibson another
26-year-old running back this one out of
Memphis is interesting to add and here's
the deal Antonio Gibson is available in
84% of fantasy leagues right now people
yes he's also available in 84% of
leagues I don't even know what the
that voice is I think I'm just like high
on coffee at 400 a.m. but here we go you
can see Antonio Gibson has over 100 in
total 100 total yards in week one he's a
decent flex play for 11 fantasy points
he has 12 total touches now here's the
deal this was very nice usage but he's
still not the starting running back on
this team right like he only had 16
total snaps in this game this is by far
in a way through two weeks from Andre
Stevenson's full Workhorse role 49 snaps
in this game meaning he played 72 or
yeah 72% of the snaps and he also saw if
you were to see the carry distribution
61% of the backfield carries through two
weeks ra Andre has been a dynamite
Workhorse back for Fantasy the guy is
averaging 24 touches per game like if
you drafted him again you you have a
steal on your hands especially if this
New England offense is going to look as
good as it has the first two weeks or at
least as decent compared to what we
thought it would look like here 22
touches you can see right here for
aandre in week two goes for 17 fantasy
points which seems like a let down
compared to last week when he popped off
even more more for 120 plus yards but
it's solid now the reason why I'm saying
you know why uh Antonio Gibson is
somebody worth an ad is because this
Patriots Rush offense looks like it's
actually going to be good and it's not
just a fluky thing through two weeks no
they made the decision to do this based
on their new coaching staff their new
offensive coordinator this year is Alex
Van Pelt he comes over from the
Cleveland Browns who basically the last
couple of years under Alex Van Pelt have
been like top five Rush offenses top 10
Rush offenses especially when they have
their running backs healthy like Nick
chub who wasn't healthy for most of last
year but the point being Alex Van Pelt
came to this team and said yeah we're
going to run the ball a lot more than we
did last year here in New England and ra
Andre Stevenson this offseason multiple
times said I really like the offense
Alex velt is building for us so we've
already seen ra Andre Stevenson benefit
and as soon as week two we also saw the
backup running back Antonio Gibson
benefit for over a 100 total yards and
Antonio Gibson is a very talented runner
in his own right a former wide receiver
SL running back hybrid in college at
times he's a dynamite in the receiving
game and we've seen now and at times
during his time with the Washington
commanders that he could be good on the
ground when put in the right situation
and this might be that right situation
speaking of Alex velt from Cleveland
remember days with both Kareem hunt and
Nick chub when both those guys were top
30 to top 24 running backs in fantasy
yeah maybe there's a chance that happens
for Antonio Gibson and that would
definitely be great to have on your
rosters not the waivers now it's sort of
a pleasant surprise because the New
England Patriots were ranked to have the
worst offensive line entering the season
and here's the deal I don't think they
have the best offensive line through two
weeks I just think the scheme that Alex
Vel is putting out there is kind of
hiding some of their weaknesses how long
can this last the entire season I don't
know but I think the Patriots are
actually closer maybe to the 20th ranked
offensive line in the NFL than dead last
and that's actually maybe all that we
need now as for Gibson himself he signed
a one-year deal this off season you can
see here this is when the Tweet came out
from the Patriots team they signed the
versatile running back Antonio Gibson he
signed a one-year deal with the team and
Gibson's coming off of a career-high
year he had a career-high 48 receptions
last season he was actually a very good
running back for Washington they're
running backs quietly were solid last
year between Brian Robinson and Antonio
Gibson Gibson averaging 5.8 yards per
touch the fourth best rank in the NFL so
yeah samaji perine and Antonio Gibson
there's something you learn you could
talk about at the bar were're both top
five in running back yard per touch last
season and Antonio Gibson now is
entering an offense where maybe he can
get going on the ground even more now
again I'm not saying Antonio Gibson's
taking over this backfield I'm saying ra
Andre Stevenson is the clear Workhorse
and Antonio Gibson already has Flex
upside like he did in week two and if
anything was to happen to ra Andre who's
battled injuries not only last season
but also during his college career well
then you get Antonio Gibson working into
a potential Workhorse role for 16 to 18
plus touches a week the next man I want
to talk about is a guy who's younger
than 26 he's not he's barely 20 years
old and this is going to be brillan
Allen The Rook for the New York Jets and
here's the deal brayan Allen in week two
he popped off he had a couple of
touchdowns both in the air right here on
two catches and on the ground on seven
carries he had nine total touches 11
opportunities with his targets the guy
goes for nearly 20 fantasy points in
this back field now of course Bree Hall
is there Bree Hall actually scored more
fantasy points than him in week two
that's what you would expect most weeks
but here's the exciting part the rookie
brillan Allen looks like the clear
running back two on this team and based
on his week two usage he could honestly
be a flex play in some deeper leagues we
know Bree Hall is the running back in
this backfield we don't have to worry
about that but brayan all did take take
20 snaps away from him Bree Hall sees
41% of the snaps so Allen's playing
already as a rookie a middle round
rookie by the way 35% of the snaps and
earning 33% of the running back carries
as soon as week two in this offense
that's encouraging and now maybe the
biggest surprise to me is this second
column right here the numbers in this
second column are the routes run so
you're running a route you have an
opportunity to earn a Target when you do
that Bray and Allen ran a route on 12
routes Bree Hall 21 routes which is
maybe quietly concerning again it's just
week two so we don't have to panic here
for breea but Bray and Allen running
that many routes and earning four
targets on those routes right and
actually putting up production two
catches finding the end zone is
interesting like Aaron Rogers is
trusting this guy already which is not
something you usually does with rookies
especially rookie running backs now if
you're not familiar with brayan Allen if
you didn't watch our our draft videos
and the prospect videos that we put out
during the fall make sure you come back
or the spring make sure you come back
during March and April for those bran
Allen is a monster this dude is 235 lbs
he's an absolute Beast 6'1 235 lbs
actually has according to player
profiler pretty solid speed for his size
451 at 235 lbs is 95th percentile that's
top 5% speed of all time to attend the
NFL combat and the dude is insane
because he bypassed his final year of
high school to go to Wisconsin to play
defensive back and then before the
season even started he train changed to
the running back position and not only
did he change to the running back
position to just kind of like be this
depth guy no he went out there as a
first year ever playing 17-year-old and
goes out and has 1,200 total yards he
backs it up with another 1200 yard
season and then last year between his
rushing 984 and a couple of receptions
he goes over 1,000 total yards so this
guy has 3,00 th000 total yards Seasons
he's averaging like, 1300 yards a year
in college and the dude was 18 and 19
and 17 years old I mean as you can see
right here he's literally 20.6 years old
when he was drafted into the NFL he
barely turned 20 years old one of the
youngest players ever in the NFL draft
he was definitely the youngest player in
this NFL draft a fourth round pick by
the New York Jets and he kind of has
everything that you would like if
something was to happen to Brea if all
was to miss time he has the size he has
the ability to pass protect and catch
passes he could be a three down
Workhorse back he could be your next
Jordan Mason in fantasy so before that
happens before breall maybe misses a
game or two and again we have seen
breall Miss games like he did a couple
years ago with the Tor ACL well then
brayan Allen becomes just a week in and
week out starter for Fantasy at least
for those first few weeks to see how
they hash out the backfield so again yes
how Jordan Mason right now is like a
clear-cut top 10 maybe even top five
running back for Fantasy with Christian
mcaffry out that could be brilon Allen
next so go get him and for the crowd of
people that says he's not available in
my league we're getting closer to your
league then because he's currently
available in 92% of leagues that is N9
out of 10 fantasy leagues more than 9
out of 10 he's currently available now

99% of leagues but before you get there

currently in 99% of fantasy leagues he
plays for the Cleveland Browns and his
name is Deontay Foreman yes Deontay
Foreman that guy who used to play for
Texas in college like 10 years ago yeah
he's still in the NFL he's still 230
plus pounds and he's still actually
producing in decent ways now here's the
interesting thing about Deontay Forman
let's go with this view I like this view
a lot better Deontay Foreman in week one
plays Just One Snap literally plays One
Snap as you can see right here just runs
a route on that snap 2 doesn't even get
a carry so now heading into week two
it's like okay Jerome Ford this is his
backfield he had nearly 20 fantasy
points week one he was looking great
well sa that's not the case apparently
because in week three the Cleveland
backfield became a three-headed monster
you can see drone Ford 32 snaps still
leading leading the Back Field just
barely but Deontay Foreman goes from One
Snap in week one to 27 snaps and look
here this is a guy who had a neck injury
got carded off the field in training
camp came back got slowly ramped back up
so maybe he just wasn't fully ready in
week one maybe right and then you can
also see Pierre strong strong sees 10
snaps he actually left this game with a
hamstring injury so he might miss some
time but this was going to be a
three-headed backfield now maybe it'll
be a two-headed backfield Nick chub
still not expected to be back anytime
soon still in the P list but this is
concerning for Drome Ford but it's
encouraging for Deontay Foreman because
it translated to look now a great
fantasy day just six fantasy points but
more importantly the usage 14 carries
has one reception so he gets 15 touches
in week two after seeing none in week
one again this is highly alarming and
concerning in my opinion for Jerome Ford
but I'm not really concerned about the
usage here because this is still a
Browns team that didn't have their St
top two starting tackles their left
tackle jedric Willis and their right
tackle Jack Conlin in this game they
just don't have those dudes up front to
create efficient running Lanes now with
that Jerome Ford injury that we talked
about the hamstring and then he did not
return in this game I think think he
might miss some time moving forward if
he had to actually leave this game maybe
a week or two or more depending on how
severe it is we might be looking at a
two-headed backfield now between Jerome
Ford who seems to still be the 1A here
based on his usage we'll talk about that
in a second and Deontay foran again Ford
played the majority of the snaps ran the
majority of the routes here but he just
did not see the majority of the touches
like he did last week it was actually
Foreman who saw literally 65 plus per of
the backfield carries in week two and
according to PFF you can see right here
the light blue is Foreman the dark blue
is Jerome Ford Jerome Ford is still
playing the third Downs you can see the
pie chart he played half after the third
downs but the goal line touches in week
two the two goal line snaps did go to
Deontay Foreman which makes sense
because he's literally 235 lbs in a
Bruiser and a physical Runner that's
what he's been known for his whole life
so if you're getting Deontay Foreman
even if he starts to split the Back
Field evenly with Jerome Ford but he's
seeing that goal line usage and once
those offensive tackles come back he
could be an interesting name that
shouldn't be available in 99% of leagues
and if he's still not available in your
league then yes you are the 1% sicko you
are the problem and it's a good problem
to have you're a fantasy football addict
like myself but hey hey hey hey when you
say he's not available in any of our
leagues out no it's just yours it's just
yours push up those glasses it's just
yours all right next up we'll get to a
guy who's available in 66% of leagues
and his name is Bucky Irving we
mentioned him last week but after what
happened in week two I think he's
becoming a little bit more of a priority
ad because his backfield running mate
who's been highly efficient not only
last year not only in week one but also
in week two we'll talk about it Rashad
white did leave the game with a groin
injury but as you can see right here
according to Underdog on Twitter he did
return to Sunday's game but he left with
a groin injury these are things that you
know can end up popping up like Kenneth
Walker left last week with an oblique
injury and it didn't seem like a bad
thing they were like after the game he
was like ah it's not that big of a deal
now he already missed he didn't even
practice at all missed week two Kenneth
Walker and his status is in doubt moving
forward so I'm not saying that's the
exact same thing with Rashad white here
but again these injuries they can
actually flare up overnight they can get
tight they can actually then become more
of a problem so now here's the week two
usage according to PFF Bucky Irving
plays 17 snaps Rashad way plays 34 we
know that that's the backfield split but
more importantly is what I want to look
at Bucky Irving gets seven carries
compared to 10 for Rashad white so the
backfield carries are kind of split and
once again Rashad white like I mentioned
earlier he hasn't been efficient he
wasn't efficient in week two 10 carries
again maybe the groin had to deal with
this but this is just kind of what we've
seen out of Rashad white now 10 carries
all he gets is 18 yards on those 10
carries it was a tough match up against
the Lions defensive line Bucky Irving
didn't have the greatest game either but
this is the story now of One Rashad
white Rashad white has been somebody who
has just been highly inefficient through
his NFL career so far and if that
continues to happen if he continues to
be inefficient it's just going to open
more and more doors more and more doors
if Rashad bu is inefficient the 25y
running back back out of Arizona State
it's going to open more opportunities
for the rookie Bucky Irving especially
if that rookie Bucky Irving is able to
do what he did in week one where he took
nine carries for 62 yards he had two
catches for 14 yards he ends up putting
up 76 total yards averaging like uh what
was it seven yards per touch which is
not really something that Rashad white
has ever done in his NFL career did it
in college a lot Rashad white was
efficient in college but his NFL career
hasn't been the case now if you're not
familiar with Bucky Irving let me just
tell you about him he's out of Oregon
he's a fourth round rookie he's 22 years
old and this is a guy who you know
during his college career was known as
one of the most productive running backs
in this year's NFL draft and we can pull
up why right here you can see in 2022
it's the year that he breaks out he goes
over a, rushing yards we'll talk about
his receptions in a second 2023 was his
best year again over a th rushing yards
but let's look at what he does as a
receiver because this is the big part of
his game 31 receptions in college two
years ago last year 53 receptions at
Oregon now again he's playing with Bo
Knicks Bo Nick's offense at Oregon was
known to be a checkdown offense that's
kind of what they the the knock on B
Knicks he was accurate and efficient but
checking down a lot to guys like one
buck Irving that's why the dude had a
133% Target share 53 receptions
depending on the stats that you look at
Bucky Irving was he an an efficient
receiver was he not was he a prodct of
the system kind of like a Clyde ardt
cair back in his days at LSU either way
the guy put up those stats and for what
it's worth He ranked number one in PFF
Russian grades the last two seasons now
what he's known for best is his work in
between the tackles he has a little bit
of burst there in that little short area
as well as some solid balance and
Agility but what he's also knocked for
and what I've also been a little bit
critical maybe not critical but I've
just had some question marks about him
is his overall size at 192 lbs now we
know guys like Devana chain and some
other running backs even Kym willames
they're small running backs who have
found success but when you pair that
with slow speed when you pair slower or
shorter bodies with slower speed 44
speed for or 455 is generally decent
speed for like somebody like me that'd
be amazing but for a running back at his
size at 192 lbs it's just 29th
percentile all the way down here now
it's not a complete de sentence because
that's a similar profile to somebody
like kyum lames and he's been great in
the NFL and great for Fantasy but he's
kind of the outlier right that is an
outlier we can't expect that to always
be the case especially when a player
like a Bucky Irving isn't the type of
pass protector in college or even so far
in the NFL from what we've seen as one
Kym Williams was which got him on the
field more but the size and all that and
what I think might not matter because
the team does like Buck Irving based on
what happened in the preseason based on
the fact that he got the rb2 job
immediately just as a as a middle round
rookie says something that the team does
like him and that's kind of what they
were saying in training camp how much
they like him so if Rashad B continues
to be in efficient and gives this bucks
organization and the coaches more reason
to give Bucky Irving more touches well
then he's probably going to have a
larger role and somebody who shouldn't
be available in 66% of fantasy leagues
all right for you sickos out there after
we talk about this man Rico Dole who's
available in 59% of leagues I'm going to
talk about some guys who are available
in 99% of leagues for all you sickos out
there in your deep leagues but Ric do is
available in 99% of leagues and we saw a
better workload for him in week two you
can see right here he led this backfield
with 30 snaps compared to 28 for Zeke it
was still basically a 50-50 split he led
this backfield with seven carries but
six for Zeke so again it was basically a
50/50 split that's kind of what we saw
last week Zeke led the back field by
like one or two snaps Zeke led the
backfield like one or two touches but it
was encouraging that we at least saw
that in week two that that we didn't see
some sort of widening that Ezekiel
Elliott was out here now seeing more
snaps more touches and Rico D was
becoming an afterthought no it does seem
like a split backfield and if I'm
betting on somebody for the rest of the
season it's the younger more explosive
more dynamic as EQ Elliott now the
problem for the problem for one Rico do
is this past week Duce vaugh got
involved they got a third running back
involved now he only played 10 snaps but
on those 10 snaps he sees four carries
and that might not seem like it matters
all that much but when you're a running
back just trying to get you know carries
10 carries in a game and another guy's
now in your back field that does hurt
your overall upside if you add that up
over the whole season now here's the
breakdown of the touches though and I
think it's encouraging for Rico do
because Duce Von a smaller back who can
maybe catch some passes he didn't see
any of the passing down work you can see
right here the two-minute offense was
basically a split between Zeke who's the
dark blue and Rico do who is the green
the third Downs were kind of a split
there as well the short yardage went to
Rico do so the passing down roll isn't
being affected by duvon I don't think
duvon as of right now is like a serious
threat or really will stay in this
rotation all that much but we'll have to
see in week three but the thing that I
want to point out here for Rico do who
got 10 fantasy points a flex option in
some leagues had 11 Touches for 59 yards
so he was highly efficient over 5 yards
per touch but this is a guy who caught
four passes the Cowboys were trailing in
the scheme he got five targets he was
the guy that they were trusting as a
pass catcher because last year's Eco
Elliott although he had a lot of catches
he wasn't efficient on those he's not as
efficient anymore not as Dynamic can't
break as many tackles Rico do can be
that guy and I think he has more upside
as the season goes on for this cowboys
offense now before we get into a final
guy that you really don't need to be
adding but I see a lot of people wanting
to add him I just want to say hit the
Subscribe button 65% of you are still
not subscribed to this YouTube channel
here's your urge to do so we're growing
like Gang Busters and if you find these
vide is helpful I would appreciate it
our gentleman's agreement and the ladies
I see some ladies out there in the
comments as well Shake on it right now
the ladies and gentlemen's agreement
that you hit that subscribe button if
you find these videos helpful it really
helps this channel go a long way so I
appreciate you all a ton hit that
subscribe button okay before we get to
those sickles I forgot I had one more
guy here because I want to talk about
Gus ards who I I say I don't want you to
add him but I also don't want you to
drop him either which sounds a little
bit weird but let me break it down
because this Chargers backfield in week
two Gus 's actually played more snaps
one more than JK Dobbins 33 Gus 's
actually had one more carry believe it
or not this dude had 18 carries just 17
I shouldn't say just 17 but 17 for JK
Dobbin so it was a split backfield from
that regard and that was a change from
week one where you can see right here
according to pfff JK Dobbins had 33
carries Gus Edwards 24 but here's the
problem JK Dobbins is going out there
and like he did in week two against
Carolina having 130 plus yards for the
second straight week while meanwhile Gus
e is going out there with the more or
similar opportunities and getting just
59 yards averaging you know three yards
per touch if that and Gus ever isn't
really doing anything as far as it goes
from a receiving standpoint ran just six
routes last week so he doesn't have the
receiving upside and he's not being
efficient and not only that but
according to PFF in week two it was JK
Dobbins getting the goal line work
knockups Edwards so you're not getting
the Red Zone touchdown upside the C pass
catching upside or efficiency that's
brutal so when I see people trying to
add Gus ever he's available right now in
about 45% of fantasy leagues I'm just
not spending a priority waiver okay if
you're in a super deep League yeah a guy
who got 18 carries is interesting and
somebody maybe you want to roster but
where is the up side going to come from
and also keep in mind that they face the
Carolina Panthers who have the worst run
defense in the NFL don't have their best
defensive player now Derek Brown who's
going to help stop the run and they had
a massive lead in this game will this
happen often I don't know so I'm a
little bit skeptical about adding Gus
Evers but again I'm not trying to drop
him unless you want to pick him up for
somebody we talked about earlier in this
league or this video then go ahead and
do it but I'm not trying to drop him
because he did have 18 carries in a run
first offense so if something happens to
JK Dobbins you're looking at a Workhorse
running back okay now finally we're
going to get to those deeper leagues
those 1% sickle leagues cam acres is the
first guy who this guy was a little bit
more of a secret before the Sunday Night
Football game but we saw Damen Pierce
did not play in that game with a
hamstring he didn't really practice most
of the week in full capacity so maybe he
misses more time and cam acres is
somebody who had who had success not
only in training camp but the preseason
he was looking great out there and now
he might actually be the running back to
on this team and for what it's worth Joe
Mixon left last game with an ankle
injury now he did return to the game but
this is again something with an ankle
injury that maybe it starts to affect
him it gets sore it gets swollen a
little bit after the game the adrenaline
wears off the shots that give him in the
locker room wear off right and now
you're looking at a guy who did return
to into the game with the ankle injury
but maybe he's Limited in practice and
that's what I would expect this week for
Joe Mixon who basically missed all of
training camp as well with an injury an
aging running back cam acres is now
looking like more of a priority ad not
just in deeper leagues but all leagues
the next guy I'll talk about is Marshon
Lloyd who is currently available in over
85% of fantasy leagues because he did
return for the Green Bay Packers their
third round rookie who's dealt with
multiple injuries now in training camp
and to start the year he returned and he
played just 10 snaps but they were
limiting his role he was purposely on a
pitch count because he's coming up with
a hamstring injury and this is a guy
that look he's not going to over take uh
Josh Jacobs who literally had 30 carries
last week on 47 snaps who literally went
for 130 plus yards he's looked great his
first two games but if something happens
to Josh Jacobs you could be damn sure
that the rookie Martian Lou's going to
have a bigger role so again somebody to
stash next guy I want to talk about
played all the way back on Thursday
Night Football and it's the rookie
Jaylen Wright he's available in over 80%
of fantasy leagues right now because
here's the deal rohee most start missed
that game and there's some talks that he
can miss more time and also in that game
Jeff Wilson left late with an injury on
the final play of the game it looked
like Devon achan got banged up but they
said it's nothing serious so right looks
like Jaylen Wright who had five touches
in that game on Thursday Night Football
didn't do much with them but did have
five touches it looks like heading into
this week week three if Jeff Wilson's
not right if fore Oar can't return which
would seem pretty questionable looks
like Jeff or Jaylen Wright could already
be a top two running back for the
Dolphins and we know that they like to
use multiple running backs and multiple
running backs can be productive in that
offense now I want to just mention
Alexander Madison quickly again because
he's still available in like 65% of
leagues and then there's a guy who's
available in 99.9% of leagues I think
he's probably available in 100% but
before we get there Alexander Madison
look he's still at a decent R like it
was not anything crazy but it actually
got worse from week one he played Just
14 snaps zamir White's roll increased 40
snaps total zamir white 23 routes run
that Madison just eight but Alexander
Madison did see the goal line work in
this game and that did result in a goal
line touchdown so again if he's
available and he's like the only thing
out there sure you can add him but I'm
not running to do so like we mentioned
last week I'm not running to do so now
that guy was available at 99.9% of
leagues is a former undrafted free agent
a 23-year old running back for the
Tennessee Titans and it's Julius
Chestnut and Julius Chestnut is a beast
this guy is highly athletic he's 228 lbs
he actually had an opportunity to play
in the NFL I believe last year maybe the
year before he had some nice success in
a game or two for them he can catch
passes and the reason why he's
interesting is because Taj spear
suffered an ankle injury questionable to
return Sunday never return Sunday so
this is Tony PD's backfield but not only
is a Tony PD's backfield well now also I
believe it's going to become a little
bit of Julius chestnut's backfield for
maybe you know 15 20 25 snaps for a week
or two if Taj Spears was forced to miss
time and Tony PO is a guy who's never
been able to sustain a full workload he
didn't do it last year in Dallas he got
banged up the year before that so I
think that this could be an interesting
spot for a guy who's available in 99% of
leagues before he starts getting more
hype now the final guy I'll talk about
is Isaac Keno who's available in 99% of
leagues he's now the running back to As
Long As Christian mcaffry is out for the
49ers and mcaffry they're saying could
be out for six plus more weeks so he's
the running back too he's going to be
behind Jordan Mason don't expect much
usage from him though because dbo Samuel
also see carries Jordan Mason has an
elite Workhorse role right now but if
something happens to Jordan Mason the
rookie eyes of horrendo I don't expect
him to be as great as Mason has been
right but horrendo is a guy who has
Elite Speed sort of a raw Prospect out
of Louisville but 221 lbs of great speed
he could have at least the frame to be a
Workhorse back that's if something
happened to Jordan Mason so again here's
all the guys for your deeper leagues for
most of your normal leagues out there
that you should be adding at the running
back position heading into week three
before your friends do the wide receiver
video will be releasing on Tuesday
morning and maybe it's out by the time
you're watching this and when it does it
will pop up right here so best of luck
everybody I'll see you in the next one
again before you go hit that subscribe
